| Understanding Image Formats |
There are two different image formats that
are commonly used on the Web: GIF and JPEG. You probably won't
be able to detect the difference between a GIF and a JPEG
onscreen. JPEG is usually one-fourth of the size of a GIF.
GIF images, with a file extension of .gifs,
are the most common types of images used on the Web. GIF stands
for 'Graphical Interchange Format'. GIF is an especially good
format for line drawings, icons, computer-generated images,
simple cartoons, or any images with big areas of solid colors.
GIFs are compact. The biggest limitation of GIFs is that they
can only contain up to 256 different colors. There are two common varieties of GIF: GIF87A and GIF89A.

JPEG images have a file extension of ".jpg"
or ".jpeg" and are the second most common format
for images on the Web. It stands for 'Joint Photographic Experts
Group'. JPEG is a remarkably compact format, designed for
photographs and other images. JPEG format can allow up to
16 million different colors in an image. The biggest limitation
of JPEGs is that they cannot be transparent or animated.
